How Chevron Uses Language to Shape Perception of Climate Change: An Analysis of Framing, Selective Disclosure, and Greenwashing
Get PDFThe research investigates how Chevron Corporation uses language strategies in its climate communications to influence public opinions about its environmental record. The research analyzes Chevron's ESG communications from 2019 to 2023 alongside social media public discussions to reveal advanced linguistic and rhetorical methods which build environmental narratives but reduce accountability.
The research shows Chevron practices greenwashing through five specific methods which combine strategic vagueness with hedging language, passive voice, weak commitments ,selective disclosure and aspirational language. The combined methods generate favorable environmental perceptions but make it difficult to verify them. During the five-year study Chevron shifted its communication approach from risk-focused messages to technology-focused optimism especially after COP26 while producing more messages that lacked specific details and weaker commitments.
The research expands theoretical knowledge about corporate environmental communication by showing how agenda-setting and framing along with advanced linguistic methods serve as corporate tools in environmentally sensitive industries. The research provides a comprehensive evaluation system which helps determine genuine environmental commitments from strategic image management practices.</p
Bigger and Stronger: An Ethnography of Casual College Weightlifters
Get PDFLifting weights is an activity rife with gendered meaning. In this thesis, based in ethnographic research among casual lifters (aged 18-24) in Boulder, CO, I engage the ideals, aesthetics, and norms which construct the gym as a gendered and engendering space and analyze their relation to broader gendered norms, particularly hegemonic masculinity. I first argue that lifting provides a site for the embodiment and perpetuation of a neoliberal market ethic at an individual embodied level through the valorization of hyper-individualism, antisociality, self-discipline, endless progress, and the accumulation of personal value through gender capital. Then I turn to the themes invoked in the title: size and strength, which represent the primary motivations for why most men lift. Both these values, I argue, link masculinity to power and a capacity for violence, which marks men’s muscular bodies as masculine and powerful and women’s as the inverse. Lastly, in the end of the thesis I explore the contradictions and fragilities in both of these previous approaches to understanding lifting’s relationship to gender roles and power. I posit the term “bro performativity” to describe moments of contradiction and reflection which reveal the arbitrary nature of masculinity’s relationship to the values expressed through lifting. These moments, I argue, provide men with the capacity to exert their agency over the gendered frameworks reproduced by lifting and change them through radical discourse and social action.</p
Neuromorphological Correlates of Thought Control Difficulties During Working Memory Operations
Get PDFThis study investigates the relationship between self-reported repetitive negative thinking (RNT), the accuracy of machine learning approaches for interpreting brain patterns of distinct mental operations on information in working memory (WM) (known as classifier accuracy), and neuromorphological differences across individuals. We aimed to identify differences across individuals in the structure of brain regions implicated in an individual’s ability to control their current thoughts. We found that morphology of the lateral orbital sulcus (latOS), the transverse frontopolar gyrus and sulcus (FPG), and the orbital H-shaped sulcus (OHS), all portions of the Default Mode Network (DMN) regions in internal thought, was associated with classifier accuracy, which is a measure of how distinct the neural representations for different WM operations are. In addition, elevated self-reported RNT scores were associated with morphological differences in orbitofrontal regions, underscoring the role of these regions in maladaptive thought patterns and potential vulnerability to internalizing disorders, such as depression and anxiety. The current study expands upon these insights by highlighting distinct contributions of classifier accuracy and RNT in predicting neuromorphological differences, emphasizing the potential role of DMN structures in regulating the focus on current thoughts.</p
